Exhaust apparatus
View Patent ↗An exhaust apparatus includes: an inner tube including therein an exhaust passage and also including a peripheral wall portion on which a plurality of opening portions communicating with the exhaust passage are formed; an outer tube accommodating the inner tube, an internal space being formed between the outer tube and an outer periphery of the inner tube; and a flow rectifying member arranged at a region inside the inner tube, having a spiral shape in an axial direction of the inner tube, and configured to rectify an exhaust gas flowing through the exhaust passage.
1. An exhaust apparatus comprising:
an inner tube including therein an exhaust passage and also including a peripheral wall portion on which a plurality of opening portions communicating with the exhaust passage are formed;
an outer tube accommodating the inner tube, an internal space being formed between the outer tube and an outer periphery of the inner tube; and
a flow rectifying member arranged at a region inside the inner tube, having a spiral shape in an axial direction of the inner tube, and configured to rectify an exhaust gas flowing through the exhaust passage, wherein
the flow rectifying member is completely constituted by a plurality of pins coupled to the peripheral wall portion of the inner tube and spaced apart from one another in the axial direction of the inner tube.
2. The exhaust apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the flow rectifying member is provided at a position at least downstream of a middle portion of the exhaust passage of the inner tube.
3. The exhaust apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the flow rectifying member is provided so as to cross an inside of the inner tube in a radial direction of the inner tube.
4. The exhaust apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the flow rectifying member is constituted by a plurality of pins coupled to the peripheral wall portion of the inner tube and spaced apart from one another in the axial direction of the inner tube.
5. The exhaust apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a sound absorbing material arranged in the internal space.
6. An exhaust apparatus comprising:
an inner tube including therein an exhaust passage and also including a peripheral wall portion on which a plurality of opening portions communicating with the exhaust passage are formed;
an outer tube accommodating the inner tube, an internal space being formed between the outer tube and an outer periphery of the inner tube; and
a flow rectifying member arranged at a region inside the inner tube, having a spiral shape in an axial direction of the inner tube, and configured to rectify an exhaust gas flowing through the exhaust passage, wherein
the flow rectifying member is constituted by a plurality of pins coupled to the peripheral wall portion of the inner tube and spaced apart from one another in the axial direction of the inner tube; and
when viewed from the axial direction of the inner tube, the plurality of pins are respectively arranged at positions displaced from one another around an axis of the inner tube.
7. An exhaust apparatus comprising:
an inner tube including therein an exhaust passage and also including a peripheral wall portion on which a plurality of opening portions communicating with the exhaust passage are formed;
an outer tube accommodating the inner tube, an internal space being formed between the outer tube and an outer periphery of the inner tube; and
a flow rectifying member arranged at a region inside the inner tube, having a spiral shape in an axial direction of the inner tube, and configured to rectify an exhaust gas flowing through the exhaust passage, wherein
the flow rectifying member is constituted by a plurality of pins coupled to the peripheral wall portion of the inner tube and spaced apart from one another in the axial direction of the inner tube; and
each of the plurality of pins has a circular cross section.
